New Neighbor: Bite

The local fast-casual chain Bite expands to Flatiron with its third location in Manhattan. The new location features the same made-from-scratch menu items and top quality organic ingredients as its Gramercy and NoHo locations, including breakfast sandwiches, paninis, homemade soups, smoothies, Mediterranean salads, and desserts, in addition to the debut of new menu items.

Bite is owned by Ami Melamed, a New Yorker who focuses on offering simple, organic food at affordable prices for meat eaters, vegetarians, and those gluten-free alike. Bite opened its first location on the corner of Lafayette and Bleecker in 2002 and has been feeding New Yorkers ever since. Ami believes that doing business in Flatiron is a great opportunity to offer both the residents and those working in the neighborhood great quality fresh food made simply using the best organic ingredients. The entire Bite community is “excited about being part of the vibrant Flatiron community and looks forward to meeting their neighbors.”

Bite features live jazz on Thursday nights, and the Flatiron location was formerly a tile wholesaler. The floors are imprinted with a myriad of tile mosaics that have been carefully restored to their original state, providing a colorful backdrop to the music and food.

Hours are Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
